New here

Hey guys,

My name is Ben, I am a brand new member. I am really glad that there is a forum specifically for 2.7 L tacomas. I don't quite know what you all mainly cover on this forum other than the engine. I have 12 year model rwd single cab. I have only done some minor things to the truck but I plan on doing a lot to it over the years that I have it. Hopefully you all can show me ideas on some cool stuff on what to do with this little truck. My goal is to basically have it looking like a small jacked up truck. I plan on raising it in the front more than the rear, and getting some trail tires for it in the summertime (hopefully). I am a pretty busy guy. I am a part-time firefighter, and I am also a full-time college student. I will only be able to get on this site once a day for no longer than 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much time it I will have during the day. I will be scrolling through all these posts and hopefully be able to gather in some ideas as well. Fill free to e-mail me or send me a message on here, and I'd be happy to go into a little more detail on what I would like to do this truck. First project I am going to be getting to first is spraying the undercarriage with a petroleum-based material called Ziebart. I saw images of how nice this stuff looks on these trucks, and I liked it. If you all know anything about this product, please fill me in, or if you have better ideas on how to approach this project including preparation, saving money, the procedure of spraying it, etc., then I would be happy to hear all about it. Thank you all and I hope to hear from people soon.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome.

First its 30 mins. Then an hour, then two, then three.
We understand. Lol.

 

A couple of small things:

I have only one chrome decal on the bottom driver-side corner of my tailgate. I was wanting to use plasti dip to match up with my wheels and all. I would also like to the plasti dip the gas lid. How do you disassemble the gas lid and what do you all think would be the easiest process in going about painting that decal? Because unfortunately, that decal is permanently glued to the tailgate, so I would have to cover the tailgate in painter's tape I'm guessing and then spray like two coats on the decal. If there is another easier way to approach this, let me know.
